A shaved-headed priest in a white dhoti stands at left holding a flame near the altar, and a woman with hair in a bun wears an orange-red silk shawl with yellow borders at right, facing the shrine. Brass lamps, a ceremonial gold stand and offerings sit before the deities. Two small figures flank the shrine at the edges. Two people are physically visible; the statues are not counted.
